9788878381124: Shane Thompson: Making a Sub-tropical Architecture

Synopsis

In contemporaryAustralian architecture the relationship between edifice and environment is often felt more strongly than elsewhere, and the work of Shane Thompson proves it: climate, habitat, and landscape represent privileged reference points in Shane Thompson's constructions. These elements are brought together under a design perspective that also pays constant attention to the developments of modern architecture, technology and the world of contemporary art. The resulting works - from private buildings to public complexes - are at once both profoundly rooted in Australian cultural identity, and guided by the functional and formal values that elevate them to the highest levels of contemporary architecture.
